Offshoot Beer Co. is an extension of The Bruery, a boutique craft brewery located in Orange County, CA specializing in barrel aged and experimental ales. Offshoot’s focus will be hoppy beers, IPAs in particular.  If Relax Hazy IPA is the quality we should expect, I look forward to their future creations.

Commercial Description:

Relax is the perfect name for this hazy IPA because it’s impossible not to when you’re drinking it. We use a combination of fruit-forward hops like Citra and Amarillo along with Centennial and Simcoe, to impart fruity, tropical and citrus notes, and London 3 yeast to give it that soft, round mouthfeel. No bitterness, no pucker. Just a smooth IPA that drinks like a breeze.
